People of Purpose


I'm in class today and a classmate ask if I printed out my ATI test for psychiatry. (its just a practice test to see how you're doing in class) To my dismay, I realized that I had forgotten that today was the 30th and we had to hand in our test for a percentage of our grades. I was floored, literally and figuratively because I left it on the floor in my room. So here I go looking for a place to print out my test and unfortunately no one could help me. At that precise moment, when I felt like crawling into a hole, a friend of mine ask me what was wrong and I rambled on about my forgetfulness. Long story short, he takes me to his secret place of printing out papers.(the hospital library)
At that moment, I thought about the purpose of the people in my life. It seems I have good "luck" as some may say but I say I have good "favor." Seems God always puts the right people in my life at the right time and this is just one of those minuscule moments but nonetheless just as important.
I have genuine, humorous, loving, kind people in my life. My best friend happens to be one of them. She always says the right thing at the right time and has been there for me in some of my toughest moments. I happened to meet her at my last job, which I got by luck or favor I should say. I've made wonderful new friends at my current job and I only ended up there after deciding to leave my previous job after 7 years because I felt it was time to move on. (the moving on decision and the resignation letter happened all in the same day)
Anyway, my point is this, there is a purpose for those people in your life. Whether to make you laugh, or motivate to try new things or make you realize the type of people you don't want in your life. Understand their purpose in your life and appreciate them for who they are, whether good or bad. They are there for a reason!
